Football Upends MEC-Leading Charleston On Homecoming

PEMBROKE – Rodney Smith connected with fellow wide receiver Trey Dixon on a 45-yard go-ahead trick play late in the third quarter, and Taye Vereen put the kibosh on a potential game-tying drive with an interception at the 1-yard line with 13 seconds left in the final period, as the UNC Pembroke football team polished off Homecoming Week with a 21-14 win over Mountain East Conference co-leader Charleston on Saturday.
